Our Story

Roxanne and Charley met at Corepower Yoga! Charley took over 100 yoga classes that year and rarely missed one of Roxanne's Tuesday 6am C2 hot yoga classes. Charley often came to class with his friend and roommate, Austin Meyer, who was a friend of Roxanne's from college. Having Austin as a mutual friend helped the two get to know each other. After about 7 months of taking her class, Charley asked Roxanne out!

On July 19th Roxanne and Charley had their first date which was just coffee after a morning yoga class. Roxanne was teaching yoga at 6am everyday that week and didn't want to commit to dinner plans and felt a little unsure about going out with a student. Much to her surprise Roxanne found Charley wildly interesting and actually funny. They now call this date zero because coffee is very informal. This picture is the BeReal that Roxanne took right after coffee. ...As it was post hot yoga, makeup was not necessary.

On a warm Tuesday summer night in July, the two went on their first official date to a speak easy called Gin & Reel and then dinner at Nori sushi (a date routine Charley had practiced a few times before. Rumor has it the best man, Joe Letter, has also practiced this date.) Special shout out to Spencer Effa for helping Rox pick out an outfit.

The following Tuesday Charley asked Roxanne out again and told her to wear white! Special thanks again to Spencer for telling Roxanne it would probably not be funny to wear a wedding dress from Goodwill. Roxanne still thinks this would have been hilarious but admits that it would have likely scared Charley. The two went to dinner at Pomo an Italian restaurant where Roxanne thought she was having her clean eating skills tested, eating marinara in white jeans.. But alas it was not a test, and they went to 3D glow in the dark mini golf after dinner. It should be noted that Roxanne got a hole-in -one on the hardest hole. Charley is great date planner but don't tell him that! It'll go straight to his head and that thing can't get any bigger.

After their second date Charley asked Roxanne if she wanted to go to dinner again the following week on Tuesday again. Roxanne said she was actually available on weekends too so maybe they could do something on a Saturday instead. Charley scheduled a hiking date. The pair spent so long gabbing the hike took much longer than expected and Roxanne had to call and cancel her dinner plans with friends. They were pretty much inseparable after that. (One bee lost its life in the enjoyment of this date).

The Proposal

In February of 2024, Charley and Roxanne flew down to Uruguay to enjoy the last bit of summer in the southern hemisphere. Roxanne was very excited to see the place Charley called home for two years and meet all his previous Trafi coworkers turned best friends. Charley booked flights on Valentine's Day which he still claims had nothing to do with the timing of the proposal.. Nevertheless, Roxanne wasn't too suspicious because Charley is a bougie bitch and had often talked about going back to Uruguay before a few of his friends potentially moved.


The trip was amazing! Each day was filled with beach adventures, fun friends, and an obscene amount of asado paired with rosé. On the second to last day of their trip the two went out to brunch with tons of friends and sat and giggled for hours. As time went on friends started going home for the day and Roxanne and Charley (and friend/photographer extraordinaire Yve) took a walk down the beach to check out a lighthouse nearby.


Charley asked Yve to take a picture of the two in front of the lighthouse. Roxanne was still oblivious but happy as a clam. In a sudden swoop, Charley dropped down, being sure to keep a 90 degree bend in both knees, and asked Roxanne a very important question. Roxanne's smile pushed her cheeks so far up her face, she nearly lost eyesight. She was so excited she almost forgot to answer. Perfectly whelmed and giddy from head-to-toe Roxanne gave a hearty yes to marrying the man of her dreams!

The day before they left for Uruguay, Roxanne had two things left on her pre-travel to-do list: get a new phone and get her nails done. Sadly, she didn't have time for both, so she asked Charley for his opinion. He said a new phone was way more important for vacation (her storage was beyond full, and she couldn't take any pictures). A new phone was secured in the nick of time which was definitely the right decision but Roxanne's first photos with her new bling also highlight her special Valentine's nails. At least they look nice with this Faro de José Ignacio sunset!
